I Don't Want To Start Any Blasphemous Rumors

But I think that the gods have a sick sense of humor. They giveth, and they taketh away, and they seem to have a rollicking good time doing it. To wit:

The gods taketh away: our house. It sold in less than 48 hours, for over the asking price, with multiple offers. A few very, very stressful days waiting for the conditions to clear, but it's done now. It's done. Praise the heavens.

The gods giveth: pneumonia. To me. Or at least, something that looks very much like walking pneumonia, enough that my doctor said that I need to be treated for pneumonia, even if it's just, you know, a less serious but nonetheless debilitating lung infection. In addition to the persistent nausea. Nice move, gods. Nice move. Nothing keeps a girl on her toes like keeping her on her knees, barfing up her cough drops.

Maybe this is just the universe's way of keeping itself in balance. Whatever. If it can just arrange for me to get well sooner rather than later so that I can get back to my life so ordinary, I'll forgive the gods their nasty pranks and maybe even find a way to be properly grateful for the sweet real estate deal. Maybe.

Take very good care of yourself. That is great news about the house, In my part of the country no one gets their asking price anymore, and houses stay on the market for months even when owners reduce their asking price dramatically.

Maybe the gods are just saying, 'slow down, we'll make you a nice cup of tea and wrap you in a warm blanket'. Hang in there and congrats on the house sale! Multiple offers?!?! I think everyone in my town should move their homes over the border b/c nothing is moving here.

Congrats on the house sale! That sounds more like the gods giveth. Trust me, having people walk through your home for weeks or months sucks a**. Here's hoping the gods taketh away your pneumonia ASAP. Feel better.Roz

GET SOME REST. I ended up on bedrest TWICE - both of my last pregnancies and for MONTHS ON END and it was NOT fun. You don't want that (no matter how luxuriously tempting it might sound.). Rest. And get better.That's good news about the house.

congrats on the quick sale of your house!! I hope you are feeling better soon - and rid of that nasty whatever-it-is you've got... sending good health vibes your way... well, as good of health as I have... no headache today - doing good :)

PS - Did I mention our 6 month listing for our house ended Saturday - and we didn't have a SINGLE LOOK at it in the entire 6 months? No? Well, that's house it is 'round here... we're going to relist with a new realtor after we do a couple more updates... my fingers are crossed :) Again - congrats on your quick sale. :)
